To aZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, JOHN J. SivLnY, a cititen ot the United States. residing at Clarksville, in the county of Red River and State of Texas, have invented new and useful lmprovements in Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a paper or bill holder, and has 'for its primary object a lsimple construction in'which the head plate aiords means for eectively securing the inner arm of the spring paper-engaging hook thereon without the employment of bolts, solder or analogous means and which also is provided with means for engaging and concealing the pointed end of the hook when the latter is in normal position.

`With these and other objects in View, this invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:

Figure l is a perspective view of the improvement.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view approXimately on the line 2 2 of Figure l.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2. l

Figure t is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a view of the blank from which the head of the device is formed.

rl`he head member of the improvement is formed from a single sheet of suitable bendable metal and has its body portion of a substantially V-shaped formation. The body 1 has its lower and pointed end rounded outwardly and continued in a plane with the body proper and the shoulder 2 provided between these portions of the body is formed with an opening 8. The body at its widened end is rolled upon itself, as at 4 and continued therefrom in contacting engagement with the body proper. The last mentioned portions are indicated by the numerals 5 and 6 respectively and are provided with openings that register with similar openings in the body, and through these openings the securing means that attach the device to a support are passed.

The roll on the portion 4 is not provided adjacent the upper extremity of the body but is formed on a plate or extension arranged to one side of the roll formed on the portion i5 The portion V6 is of a materially greater leegte than the Portion 5, and the JOHN J'. SVLEY, 0F CLABKSVILLE, TEXAS.

same has a lateral extension which, in practice, is bent outwardly at a right angle with respect to the body, as indicated by the numeral 7, and the end out. the angle extension 7 is rounded upon itself to form a lip 8.

The inner and straight arm of the spring hook is, for distinction, indicated by the numeral 9, and the same passes through the opening 3 and rests upon the face of the body l along one side of the rightangular extension 7. The end of the arm is bent angularly, as at l0, and this angle portion is received in the rolled portion 5 of the element 6. It is obvious that the angle extension l0 may be received in the second rolled portion of the body.

The outer arm of the hook, indicated by the numeral l1 terminates in an oset pointed end l2 that is designed to be received in the lip 8 when brought inwardly of the body. The pointed end of the hook is effectively housed when the device is in closed position. The portion 6 to one side of its rightangular extension 7 is -riveted or otherwise connected to the body proper, and it is thought that the foregoing description when taken in connection with the drawing will fully set forth the construction and advantages of the improvement to those skilled in the art to which such inventions relate.

Having described the inventioinlclaim l. InV a device for the purpose set forth, a metal body which is substantially V- shaped in plan having its pointed end rounded outwardly and the shoulder thus provided having an opening therethrough, said body having its upper end provided with spaced rolled portions and centrally formed with an outstanding angle portion having its extremity formed with a lip, a substantially U-shaped spring hook having an inner straight arm which passes through the referred to opening in the body and having an angle end received in one of the rolled portions of the body, said hook having its outer arm formed with an angle end which is pointed and which is designed to be received in the lip on the body extension.

2. 14n a device for the purpose set forth, a head formed from a metal sheet comprising a body portion which is substantially V- shaped in plan, said body having an oii'set portion adjacent its outer end which is formed with an opening, the widened end of the body having spaced extensions` one meme@ eri'ed to opening in the body, its enter end` Vbent angnlarly and received. in one of the rolled portions of the body, Vand itsouter arm having en outwardly directed pointed extension which is designed to be received in and fully Covered by the lip portion of the body.

In testimony whereof l eiiix niy signature.
